Effective Test Automation in an Agile Environment

The last five years saw an immense growth in the number of agile and Scrum projects. Additionally, the IT market has changed significantly, not only with various new tools—including Selenium 2, Watir WebDriver, BrowserMob, and Robot Framework—but with approaches that have also completely changed. For example, more focus has been made on cloud-based test automation solutions both for performance testing and functional testing. Cloud-based testing of web applications is now replacing “classical” local deployments of testing tools.
